Extraleague Update Machine: 10-11-04

FIVE ALIVE!!!

Here's a photo of Miroslav Zalesak scoring on a penalty shot. Why is this important? Well, it gave his Skalica team their *first* win of the season and they brought themselves out of the basement of the standings. Zalesak was on fire yesterday with 5 goals in a 7-1 pasting of Nitra. The last 5-goal game in the Extraliga that I can remember was Marian Gaborik's 5-goal effort when he was 18 (and whe the hold-out Miro Satan was setting him up).

Not a lot of news since the last update other than Martin Cibak and Radovan Somik made their debuts for Plzen and Vsetin respectively (and both in losing causes).

Lubomir Visnovsky also returned from injury and scored in his first game back...
